The portmanteau feature Paris Je T'Aime and a Technicolor print of 1938's The Adventures Of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn bookend the 9th RiverRun International Film Festival.

Mark Evan's drama Snow Cake is the centerpiece premiere at the festival, set to run from Apr 18-23 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Overall 34 features and 61 shorts from 25 countries will screen at the event.

'Because of our commitment to annually showcase the best new international cinema, RiverRun has very quickly developed a reputation as one of the country's most interesting regional film festivals,' the festival's executive director Andrew Rodgers said.

'This year, we're very excited to present a wide variety of films from around the world, including important new works from indie icons, groundbreaking films from first-time directors, amazing student films, some tremendous archival classics and a greatly expanded animation programme.'
